A very old, dear, creative and special friend Kaylene sends me hugs in the mail in the form of her handcrafted cards. They always come at the right time with her warm greetings and prayers. Its such a blessing to have such encouragement. Thankyou Kaylene!

A few weekends ago my family donned our peasant dress and indulged in a day of medieval frivolities. It was such an inspiring and wonderful time. There were reenactors galore, jousting, knights in battle, medieval encampments and my favourite the gypsy camp. We hope to camp next year Hear ye, Hear ye!

My sister Kim made this very cute and happy sock dog for Noah. How very cute!Its been inspired by the book, Sock and Glove: Creating Charming Softy Friends from Cast-Off Socks and Gloves by Miyako Kanamori.
